I love this picture. I love how-as an outsider- I see the beautiful fountain and building and think “oh wow, what a lovely place to visit and see and catalog as an experience,” and how that feeling is juxtaposed by the everyday, that it is simply a (beautiful) backdrop at a place to sit for lunch for people who live there. Beautiful composition!

thanks! yes, the image is interesting, with the different “layers” of the city: the massive building from the past, the fountain in motion, the people that are dazed/frozen by the mid-heat. i remember that i stood there, looking for a place to sit, and then saw the larger scene – and started to smile, and took this photo.
